With the right running mate, it could become competitive.
Think of Brian Schweitzer, Joe Manchin, Tim Kaine or Brad Henry; they would make Arkansas viable.

I doubt it. Willard won it with over 60%. No way Hillary wins here, just because Bill was governor twenty-five years ago. Too many conservatives and evangelicals.

The thread-opener asked if Arkansas could be a battleground state this year, which isn't the same as a swing state. Hillary won't win Georgia or Arizona and TRUMP won't win Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, but those states are polling close enough to make the opponent blow through money there.
And I think that could happen in Arkansas also, if Hillary is close in on TRUMP there.

Nah, Joe Manchin at the top of the ticket might make it competitive if there was a strong *True Conservative* 3rd party.

Trump will do very well in Arkansas.  Clinton can keep him under 60% but I wouldn't predict more than that.

Arkansas will probably still be the second-most Republican state in the South, after West Virginia. Possible third, if Trump does well enough in Tennessee. Clinton has as much a chance of winning Arkansas as Trump does of winning New York.

Maybe in a alternate universe or time warp.

No, they'd all lose it in a landslide. Joe Manchin won't even be able to get re-elected in his own state, much less be able to swing a different state, lol.

I'd put Clinton's chances around 1/4. Trump's chances as 0.01. So no.

No.  I think it will be to the left of Alabama, but that's not saying much.
